France is fighting to save your iPhone from an early death
-
Every time a new iPhone comes out, a team of technicians in the French city of Toulouse start to pull it apart. In the three years they’ve been doing this, they’ve found a device that’s gradually transforming into a fortress. Today’s iPhones are packed with parts that cannot be repaired or replaced by anyone other than an expensive Apple-accredited repair shop. And France doesn’t like that one bit.
A few days ago I read articles saying that Apple is gaining significant market share because Apple phones are used longer, years longer, than Android phones. Now I'm reading that Apple makes their phones last shorter, by planning its obsolesence. I'm confused.

Good quality products is bad for business, people don't need to buy a new one so soon. And since the "oh... a new shiny Apple has come" segment of the market starts to not buy each and every released device... well, 2+2 = 4
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
